Duncan comments on how nice the weather is as he approaches Macbeth's castle. This tells us that Duncan is a good character and also suggests that he is trusting and doesn't realise that Macbeth is a danger to him.

On the night of Duncan's murder it is very dark, suggesting that dark deeds will take place. The darkness also symbolises secrets.

The Witches' entrance is always marked by thunder. This adds drama and tells us that the Witches are evil.

The stormy weather that accompanies the Witches throughout the play signifies how powerful the Witches are and implies that they make trouble.

Here Banquo has no idea of his fate; his statement is very matter of fact. The weather here symbolises sorrow and tears. Banquo's death is a clear turning point in the play as we realise how desperate and evil Macbeth has become.

Shakespeare uses a paradox here to show that appearances can be deceptive.

Here Macbeth describes the Witches' great power and acknowledges the negative effect they have. The fact that he realises this but still goes to them for advice and reassurance tells us just how desperate and paranoid Macbeth has become.

Duncan's murder upsets the natural order of things, as seen here when it is dark during the daytime.

There is irony in this quotation: taken literally we understand that Duncan will not see tomorrow as he will be dead; however, the positive connotations of the Sun, and the fact that there will be no Sun, suggests that Macbeth's reign will be negative.
